Homemade Mayonnaise: Mix Egg Yokes and then add Pepper, Salt and Curry. Add oil just a few drops at a time and stirring rapidly between pours, Add oil as slowly as possible and whist as fast as possibly. Add lemon juice and sit aside.

Crepes: Melt butter. Mix flour and salt slowly into butter. Add eggs one at a time. Whisk milk into mixture, and then whisk the water into mixture. Whisk until most of the lumps are gone. Heat until hot into a lightly oiled, 6″ to 8″ sauté pan or crepe pan. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the hot pan and gently swirl batter in the pan until evenly distributed. Place pan back on stove and cook until sides begin to curl (about 2 to 3 minutes). Slide pan back and forth a few times to loosen crepe. Gently flip crepe over and cook for another 30 seconds. The top side of the crepe will have a lacy design on it and the bottom side will have brown spots on it.

For dessert crepes: Add 1 teaspoon vanilla or other flavoring and 1/4 cup sugar.
